Pre Sale Checks

From the initial stages of us selecting a car for sale, this begins with the selection and rejection of vehicles by our buyers ensuring that that only the best vehicles are bought into the Dove House Motor Company stock. In all cases we ensure that only the best cars are available to our customers by putting each of them through a series of rigorous tests.

Firstly we ensure that all of our cars have been HPI checked and are clear of any outstanding finance, have not been involved in any major accidents (and therefore recorded on VCAR) and there is no discrepancy with regards to the mileage. Also we check to make sure that each car has comprehensive service history.

As soon as the car arrives at our showroom it is taken straight into our on-site workshop where our main dealer trained technicians put the car through a 111 point check to give us a full satisfaction in the mechanical condition of the car.

It is paramount when dealing with high performance cars that safety always comes first, which is why we will always make sure that there is at least 3mm of tread on all the tyres, otherwise they are replaced. We also ensure that all Porsche sports cars (registered after 1998) are supplied with Porsche approved ‘N’ Rated tyres. Safety is a major factor in the design of our 111 point check and the technicians ensure that the cars are not beyond the MOT standard but to Dove House Motor Company standards.

The final touches to preparing a car for sale at Dove House Motor Company is for the workshop to then pass the car to our expert Valeter/Detailer who ensures that each car is valeted and presented to the highest standard.
